From the Paper:

"The past four decades have demonstrated the cyclical nature of the airline industry, for domestic and foreign carriers have experienced periods of huge profits followed by huge losses. Essentially, the industry's problems today are directly related to its successes of the mid to late nineteen-nineties, for they have arisen because of the questionable choices that were made when commercial jets were filled to capacity and revenue was flowing in. During those boom years, the industry found itself profiting from low interest rates, a growing economy, low fuel prices, and labor concessions gained during the more turbulent early part of the decade."
